Now, when the receiver sees a "2.0 MONO" track, it engages the PRO LOGIC II MOVIE mode as the default listening mode (as I set it) and it drops the entire track into the center channel

Mine engages DPL, too, so that must be the default for 2.0 mono movies.

I know a lot of people would argue that ANYTHING "2.0" should definitely be played out of at least two channels -- the main fronts -- but this sounds so weird to my ears. The mono track split between two front speakers has a weird "comb filtering" effect where I simply can't make out where the dialogue is coming from, so I avoid it and let the Pro Logic II Movie drop it all into the center channel...would you say this is preferred?

Yup. I don’t know anyone would prefer the mono sound going to the two front speakers for a video program or movie – you must run with a different crowd than I do.

Does all this matter for mono anyway? Should everything just come from the center? Is that the INTENTION of mono?

So, should I just be leaving the 2.0 mono tracks dropped into the center channel?

At any rate, you watch all your older discs that have mono tracks just from the center?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Onkyo’s pretty popular around here; don’t know why someone else isn’t chiming in...
